Eye misalignments are one of the common causes of Digital Vision Syndrome-related symptomatology. The misconception is that only patients with large phorias suffer from visual discomfort. However, patients who receive small amounts of prism correction report significant improvements in their DVS symptoms. This course will help us define and understand prism, and offer solutions to treat DVS, so we can provide the best visual outcomes for our patients.

Learning Objectives:

Upon conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:

Understand the background and symptomology of digital vision syndrome
Explore the role of eye misalignment as it pertains to symptoms of DVS
Educate on trigeminal dysphoria
Demonstrate actionable solutions in diagnostics and lenses to treat eye misalignment
